Hedone is pleasure; masochism (from Leopold von Sacher-Masoch) is pursuit of pleasure in one's own pain. Except for this very common misunderstanding, and the relatively common bad sentence structure, I think this quote is right. fucking. on. Masochism is clearly a form of hedonism.

He was almost impossible to understand, strong accent at the end of a long, narrow, sloping lecture hall. I'd go to class, listen as best I could, and do other work. All I can remember, really, was that the class was "theories of knowledge," and that I got an A- on a ten-page paper that I yanked out of my ass the day/night before. Can masochism and hedonism co-exist? I think so. I took a class with him at Cal. He was almost impossible to understand, strong accent at the end of a long, narrow, sloping lecture hall.
